Taxation for Growth

I would like to thank you Mr. Neal for answering to the Nassau Institute’s invitation to my presentation “Taxation for Growth”. I would have really enjoyed an exchange of points of view with you. I am also curious about your views on money. You seem to be less of a libertarian on this subject, for example when you say “a country (sic) has sovereign control over its printing of currency”. The number of people who have been enslaved by the printing of currency by government monopolies is impossible to count.

Unfortunately, you seem to have made up your mind on the subject based on the title of my presentation.

Sincerely,
Jorge Borlandelli

Taxation for Growth by Jorge Borlandelli:

Sorry I cannot attend but I would love to tell this speaker "there is no need for tax when a country has sovereign control over it's printing of currency". Tax is slavery to a monetary system owned and controlled by a few private interest. Please let me know when you have another speaker that can tell me the TRUTH!
